SPI and 45 Knots

I have been riding in all conditions here in SPI. Everything from 6knot Zephyr and skim board seasons. To being over powered on the 9m Sport in the waves with 30-40 knot winds. As I sit here there is no wind! Not to bad for how much Kiting I have had in the last three weeks.

I have meet some of the craziest people for the last 3 weeks. So many people from Colorado that I have never met. People that I have taught how to kite over 5 years ago! Also folks from the Arctic, Yellow Knife Canada!!! Even dudes that were just passing trough to go work and kite in Panama and riding a motorcycle with all his kite gear tied to the back. What a adventure that would be on a motorcycle!!

Then there was the Third Ave crew, all down here in SPI for there annual kite gathering. A ton of people got to try out the new best light wind kite out there, THE ZEPHYR!! We had a great time drinking SKA Beer and talking shop too!! What a cool group of fellow kiters. With all of them ripping in there own style and everybody improving there groove.

I have been loving the new skim board from SPI kite. It is a Victoria 49". With the sickest Dakine deck pads on it. It is red, white and blue. Captain America Style!!

Well off to figure out the physics of how to self propel yourself with a Zephyr and Apparent wind!


Peace,
